Now Offering Clock Hours

In exciting news for the teachers with whom we work, Technically Learning has been approved as a Washington State Clock Hours provider! For those of you unfamiliar with Education Department terminology (trust me, I was too!), clock hours are continuing education credits teachers can earn by taking training sessions and seminars designed to facilitate their professional growth. Often, these are done in addition to daily classroom teaching and preparation, so teachers have to find attend these sessions during their free time.

We realized that if our job was to aid teachers, our robotics training sessions should be useful in more ways than one. The Washington State Education Department recognized that our sessions, which familiarize teachers in the robotics curriculum and equip them with best practices for training students in robotics, should count as a professional educational experience for our dedicated teachers. This means that Technically Learning has become an even smarter choice for teachers looking to save time and improve their students classroom experience; we're a one-stop shop for professional development and improved classroom experiences!
